I've finally found one. And it was not without difficulty. I've been told that these are getting snatched up for export to Africa these days, so when the rare one shows up at auction, you are likely in competition to get it for something close to a reasonable price.

Hey, How's the Strada? I would love to see any pics of your intercooler install. I keep thinking about it, have taken measurements a few times but have yet to take the plunge! Ralph in Winnipeg

I started this thread to share information. I welcome any shared experiences and words of caution. I had intended to get into WMO since there is an unlimited supply of free WMO and I could run it in one tank since I'm parking the diesel for the winter. BUT since I haul garbage and do moving and...

Well.....rough start and stalling over the last few days. Drove through a pretty heavy thunderstorm and have been mixing in a variety of clean oils. Changed the fuel filter today and barely drove 4 blocks before I aborted and nursed it home. I'm below a quarter tank of fuel. Thinking I will fill...

I bled a bit of air out yesterday from the filter and truck started and ran like a champ. Hoping this is the last bleeding necessary.

I couldn't shift into gear the other day. After some research, I bled the clutch slave cylinder with my vacuum pump (which made it super easy). Lots of bubbles at the start and then just a thin stream of little ones. Clutch seems to work now..... Not sure if the problem is fixed or not so we'll...

Rebuild kits are quite rare apparently. Luckily, the 3/4" bore slave cylinder is very common. Bought a cheap Mazda slave cylinder and slipped the piston into the stock Strada one and we are good to go.

My Strada is en route! I'm planning on this truck being my summer cruiser and commuting vehicle. I am going to experiment with WMO but I'm looking for a bit more power and fuel economy. Truck has the 4d56 engine. Current plan is:

I was just trying to backflush my heater core and got nowhere with it. passing water in the normal flow direction was no problem, but all I could do backwards was pressurize the line. Is there a valve somewhere behind the firewall? its pretty cramped in there and don't really want to rip it apart...

Last post

Yes there is a valve that control temperature of the HVAC.Cold=cut the flow of coolant thru the core..Hot=coolant is flowing thru the heater core.
That valve is behind the top of the dash,over the gas pedal.

just yesterday my truck became quite hard to shift (5spd manual). sometimes I can't even get it back into first gear unless I first put it in forth, then drop down through the gears to first (makes me think syncros are wierd...).

Reverse is also very difficult. It likes to grind some gears now..I...

It always turns out to be a big job!!!

there was nothing wrong with the clutch/components other than needing a new clutch due to age. (it was not the cause of my symptoms)

The transmission was my problem. majority of the bearings were toast, including one where it was pretty much running race on...

Trucks are still handy to haul stuff...
...I'd take those over the Nissan Frontiers any day. Tacoma, not so sure.
Between the mid-sized trucks, I definitely preferred the looks of the Tacoma over the Frontier. That being said, I preferred the look of the Nissan Titan over the Toyota Tundra - the...

I had my injectors rebuilt last year hoping for my performance and fuel issues to disappear. to my demise, absolutely nothing changed after the rebuild, and I've been raking my brain for the last year trying to figure out my problem.

leak down test, comp test, injector pump seal, new fuel...

You can aslo try to give advance on the fuel pump timing.That will compensate the wear of
the cam plate but will not do anything for the pressure.
Give advance on the timing and you will see a difference.The timing on our truck is 7 degrees,try
for 5 degrees,like on 4d55,or even lower,until you...

Hello,
My name is Alexis and I´m writting from Argentina, I have a Mitsubishi L200 GLS 4x4 engine 4D56 2.5 TDi and had a problems with a crack in the cylinder head. Now I´ll change the cylinder head and correct the flatness of cylinder block. I hope thar this solution will helpfull!! ..I want to...

Hi DC,

I bought a engine protector called Siselco this is a real-time monitor of parameters such as high temp, low temp, low oil pressure, coolant level and low voltage. The temp is measured directly on the cylinder head, and have programmable alarms and cutting engine.. I hope whith this device,...

Hello, I believe my lift pump is acting up and making it hard for the IP to perform its job.
-lack of power (have to climb in third when forth would have done it a year ago)
-lower fuel economy (approx 15% worse, have seen this trend since last winter)
-bumping and chugging idle when I first...

Last post

Ok,I've passed winter with the lift pump to compensate for wear of the rotor head of the injection pump and i could say that
a lift pump make no difference.The best way to resolve many of the smoking,chugging,bumping,etc... is to rebuild the IP with new seals and rotor head.

I'm assuming that since the Mighty Max and L300 have the same drivetrain they are also both 3/4 ton vehicles!?
I'm wondering what the repercussions I can expect from loading it regularly with up to 2000lbs worth of garbage might be?
Thanks

where is it?? I follow the temp sensor wires into the cab, but then can't find the proper box.

my truck will start no problem, idle for a few seconds perfectly, then it will be very lump producing greyish smoke.
I dont think/know if the strada cycles the plugs after start or not (my opinion, they...

Last post

The glow plug controller is on the passenger side(left side of the cab) just beside the glovebox,bolted
on the pillar where the door hinges are fixed,just over a plastic trim.
It's a small square metal box with a connector on it,6 or 8 wire,don't remember.

I turn the key to the on position to heat the glowplugs. If I decide to turn the headlights on during this initial heating cycle, I will get a buzzing sound, and my tachometer will jump to 750rpm(engine not on).

any ideas?

I know it's not a bad ground with the module, as I grounded it elsewhere to test that.

I can test the single headlight theory when I get my truck back from my brother.

If your module is under the hood, could you take note which wires are being used. I might just try mounting it elsewhere to see...

I've learned there are 2 styles(maybe not on the mitsubishi side of things) of LSD's. there is the cluth plate style and the ball style. I've been told the ball style sucks. So, i'm pondering if the stock LSD from a montero/pajero/delica etc. is any good?

I currently have open/open diffs. a locker...

Awesome info..thx strada92.

And I have actually just bought myself a winch, this summer will hopefully involve a bumper designing/building project.
